Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

"Brother Fei, this is too much!"

"Little money."

Luo Fei then took two sports bags out of the trunk.

"Two hundred thousand for pocket money for each person."

When the zipper was opened, the smell of ink from bundles of banknotes dissipated the smell of gasoline.

Zhou Xuan suddenly grabbed the bag.

"Brother Fei, what exactly are you doing?"

"Do not ask."

Luo Fei hooked his fingers together.

"Remember, I'm ranked this high in the Jiangcheng underworld right now."

thumbs up.

"You know Lei Wanting, right? The Director of the National Security Department was drinking Moutai with me last week."

He squinted at the tall buildings in the distance.

"If we succeed this time, I'll show you the world."

On the way back, Zeng Jian's hands were sweating as he gripped the steering wheel.

In the rearview mirror, Luo Fei was leaning against his Audi, smoking.

What do you think of what he said?

Zhou Xuan fiddled with his new phone in the passenger seat.

"Whether it's true or false is not important."

Zeng Jian swerved and turned onto the elevated road.

"Anyway, it's better than handing out cards."

He caught a glimpse of the gun handle sticking out of the storage compartment and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Damn, this is way more exciting than being in jail!"

The two Audis parted ways at the fork in the road.

……

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Xi Ruyi bit her lower lip, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Luo Fei was applying his third layer of foundation in front of the mirror when he heard this, and he didn't even turn around.

"Otherwise what? Let them recognize me as 'Brother Fei' from three years ago?"

His voice was laced with sarcasm.

"Director Meng said that this operation must be foolproof."

Xi Ruyi walked behind him, and her worried face was reflected in the mirror.

I was worried that you'd just come out and then...

"A repeat of the same mistake?"

Luo Fei suddenly turned around, his fingers, smeared with foundation, almost poking her nose.

"You think I do?"

He lowered his voice.

"Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan spent five years in jail. What else could they do besides this? Deliver food?"

Xi Ruyi was forced to take a half step back, her back hitting the cold wall.

The pungent smell of cosmetics emanated from Luo Fei, mixed with his unique rusty body odor.

She noticed that the scar below his collarbone shone a pale pink under the light; it was a souvenir from the operation three years ago.

"So how do you plan to end this?"

she asked softly.

Luo Fei's expression suddenly softened.

He turned around and continued to draw his eyebrows in front of the mirror.

"I'll take them back to the police station after the mission is over."

A confident smile curved his lips.

"Having performed such a great service, shouldn't Director Meng arrange for them to be assigned as auxiliary police officers?"

Xi Ruyi snorted.

"You seem quite confident."

"necessary."

Luo Fei applied a final layer of setting powder and then suddenly turned his head.

"How about it?"

Xi Ruyi gasped.

The person in the mirror is a complete stranger.

A square chin has become a pointed chin, single eyelids have been transformed into double eyelids through makeup techniques, and even the bridge of the nose seems to have increased in height.

"This is too much."

She stammered, unable to speak.

Luo Fei proudly waved his phone, the screen displaying a photo of an ID card.

"Li Shun, 28 years old, a local of Jiangcheng."

He lowered his voice deliberately.

“From today onwards, Luo Fei can only appear at home.”

Xi Ruyi suddenly reached out and touched his face, but withdrew her fingertips after they touched his skin.

"Can I try?"

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow and handed her the makeup brush.

"Come on, let me see how you've learned."

Two hours later, Xi Ruyi stared at the completely unfamiliar man in the mirror, her hands trembling.

Luo Fei, now Li Shun, was standing behind her, grinning. The smile seemed particularly out of place on the unfamiliar face.

"Perfect."

He whistled.

"He couldn't even recognize his own mother."

Xi Ruyi suddenly turned around and punched him in the chest.

Don't smile at me with that face!

Her voice trembled.

"That's strange, Madam."

Luo Fei was stunned for a moment, then realized something.

"What? You've fallen in love with my original face?"

"roll!"

Xi Ruyi's ears burned, and she grabbed a cotton pad and rushed to the bathroom.

That afternoon, they arranged to meet with the makeup blogger for a final inspection.

The blogger was a young girl with purple hair, whose eyes widened when she saw Luo Fei.

Holy crap! Her makeup looks even better than mine!

She circled around Luo Fei once.

"If I were to use this to fool my ex-girlfriend, she would never recognize me."

Luo Fei and Xi Ruyi exchanged a glance. As they left, Xi Ruyi asked softly.

"Did you have many ex-girlfriends in the past?"

Luo Fei blinked behind his newly fitted non-prescription glasses.

"Jealous?"

"Go to hell."

Xi Ruyi kicked him, but almost twisted her ankle because she wasn't used to high heels.

Luo Fei laughed loudly and put his arm around her waist, attracting the attention of passersby.

Xi Ruyi suddenly realized that, in the eyes of others, they were now a completely unfamiliar couple.

At 7 p.m., they went to a high-end Western restaurant under their new identities.

Xi Ruyi wore a tight red dress, her lips were painted bright red, and she deliberately swayed her waist as she walked.

Luo Fei, or rather Li Shun, was dressed in a black suit with the collar open, revealing a faint gold chain.

"What would you like, sir or madam?"

The waiter asked respectfully.

Luo Fei spoke in Mandarin with a northern accent.

"Tomahawk steak, medium-rare."

He glanced sideways at Xi Ruyi.

"Give my girl the most expensive one."

Xi Ruyi almost choked on the water. After the waiter left, she lowered her voice.

"'Girlfriend'? How unfashionable are you!"

Luo Fei shrugged.

"Isn't that what all ruthless bandits call themselves?"

He suddenly leaned closer.

"Besides, you're now Xi Ruyi, the mistress of Jiangcheng's biggest drug lord. Can't you be a little more professional?"

Xi Ruyi rolled her eyes, but still adjusted her posture, leaning back lazily in her chair like in the movies.

"Give me a Martini, my dear."

She deliberately dragged out her tone.

"Shake it, don't stir it."

Luo Fei's shoulders trembled as he tried to suppress his laughter. Several men in suits at the next table kept glancing in their direction, their eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

Xi Ruyi noticed this and suddenly became interested, reaching out to touch Luo Fei's face.

"Honey, don't go home tonight, okay?"

Luo Fei grabbed her wrist and gently rubbed her pulse with his thumb.

"No hurries?"

His voice was hoarse.

"We haven't gotten the important business done yet."

Both of them burst out laughing.

I enjoyed this meal more relaxed than ever before.

The next morning, Luo Fei arranged to meet Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan at a car repair shop in the suburbs.

Xi Ruyi sat in the car and waited, observing the situation through the one-way window.

Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan arrived first, both wearing brand-new leather jackets, but they couldn't hide the restraint they showed after just coming out of prison.

"Those two are them?"

Xi Ruyi asked.

Luo Fei nodded and gave the camouflage a final check in the rearview mirror.

"Remember, from now on I am Li Shun."

He pushed open the door and got out of the car, his walking posture had changed, and he swayed his shoulders like a thug.

As Xi Ruyi watched Luo Fei approach the two men, Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan clearly showed signs of wariness.

After Luo Fei said something, Zhou Xuan suddenly reached out and pushed him.

The atmosphere became tense, and Xi Ruyi instinctively reached for the pistol hidden under her seat. Then Luo Fei made a gesture, drawing three fingers together across his brow—their old code.

Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan both froze, with Zhou Xuan even taking a half-step back.

Luo Fei said a few more words, and the expressions on their faces changed from shock to doubt, and finally to a kind of awe.

Twenty minutes later, Luo Fei returned to the car, reeking of engine oil.

"nailed it?"

Xi Ruyi asked.

Luo Fei loosened his tie.

"Let them go and inquire about someone."

He started the car.

"Wang Tianxi, the 'captain' and 'pilot' of Beijiang District."

Xi Ruyi frowned.

"Drug dealer slang?"

"Ah."

Luo Fei turned the steering wheel.

"Start with the small fish, and follow the clues to find Scarface."

He suddenly remembered something.

"Oh right, I need to remove my makeup this afternoon."

"why?"

Luo Fei's expression softened.

"Go see my godson. Once I've met Scarface, I won't be able to show my true face anymore."

Xi Ruyi remained silent for a moment.

"I will go with you."

She paused.

"I'll also buy some toys for the little one."

They went to the mall. Xi Ruyi picked out a transforming robot, while Luo Fei bought a Lego set. At the checkout, Xi Ruyi suddenly asked...

"Are Xu Xian and the others alright?"

Luo Fei's eyes darkened.

"Delivering food during the day and setting up a stall at night."

He took out his wallet.

"not easy."

On the way back, Xi Ruyi kept looking out the window.

Luo Fei knew what she was thinking. Three years ago, Xu Xian was exposed while covering for them during the operation.

Although everyone survived in the end, the price was five years in prison.

As the car entered the old residential area, Xi Ruyi suddenly sat up straight.

"that is not"

Luo Fei followed her gaze and saw a woman in a beige trench coat standing at the entrance of the residential area, looking around.

The figure looked strangely familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Who?"

he asked casually.

Xi Ruyi suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with a strange expression.

"You don't recognize me?"

Luo Fei glanced at it again and shook his head.

As the car approached, the woman turned around upon hearing the engine. She had an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and a beauty mark at the corner of her right eye.

Suddenly, a memory flashed back, and Luo Fei slammed on the brakes.

"Chen Hao?"

he blurted out.

The woman's expression changed from surprise to shock, and finally to a kind of hurt anger.

She turned and walked away, her high heels clicking rapidly on the marble floor.

"sister!"

Xi Ruyi pushed open the door and chased after her.

Luo Fei stood frozen in the driver's seat, his mind racing.

Chen Hao, Chen Xuanran's older sister, is two years older than him. Once, he slammed his hand on the steering wheel and quickly got out of the car to chase after her.

Xi Ruyi had already grabbed Chen Hao's arm.

"Sister! Don't go!"

Chen Hao shook off her hand, her eyes reddening.

"Is this interesting? Bringing him here to show off?"

Her voice trembled.

"Or do you think I wasn't embarrassed enough back then?"

Luo Fei arrived just in time to hear those words.

He instinctively reached out his hand.

"Chen Hao, it's me."

"Do not touch me!"

Chen retreated as if he had been burned.

"Officer Luo, you must have a bad memory. How could someone as insignificant as me be worthy of your remembrance?"

She gave a sarcastic smirk.

"After three years, you don't even recognize your own sister?"

Luo Fei then realized the problem: he was now in the form of "Li Shun".

But explaining only made things worse, and he could only stand there awkwardly.

Xi Ruyi was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"Sis! He's not, I mean..."

Chen Hao had already turned and walked towards the stairwell, her back stiff as a steel plate.

Xi Ruyi glared fiercely at Luo Fei.

"Look at the good things you did!"

Luo Fei helplessly shrugged.

How was I supposed to know I'd run into her?

He lowered his voice.

"Besides, it wasn't me back then."

"Shut up, you!"

Xi Ruyi chased after him angrily.

Luo Fei stood there, touching his unfamiliar face. His temples throbbed, and he suddenly had a strong urge to smoke a cigarette.

I thought those messy things from three years ago were long gone.
A window upstairs was suddenly slammed shut with a loud "bang".

Luo Fei looked up and vaguely saw a blurry figure behind the curtain.

That must be Chen Hao "killing" him with her eyes.

At the same time, Chen Hao was vigorously inserting needles into the small cloth figure at the head of the bed.

The cloth figure was crudely made, but a crooked "Luo" character was embroidered on its chest with red thread.

"You heartless bastard! You ingrate! You son of a bitch!"

Each time he cursed, he was pricked with a needle; the cloth figure was now unrecognizable from the needle pricks.

At noon, Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran stood downstairs at Xu Xian's house.

"Wouldn't it be a bad idea to go up at this time?"

Chen Xuanran looked up at the fifth-floor window, carrying two large bags in his hands, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"They might be cooking."

Luo Fei, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced at her sideways.

"What's wrong with that? We're just here to freeload a meal."

"you."

Chen Xuanran's cheeks flushed slightly.

"How can you be so blunt!"

"Just telling the truth."

Luo Fei shrugged and stepped into the building first.

"Xu Xian's cooking skills are quite good; we're in for a treat today."

In the elevator, Chen Xuanran tidied up the toys and clothes he had bought for Xu Shilin and muttered to himself.

"They should at least have called ahead."

If I told you beforehand, would it still be considered a free meal?

Luo Fei grinned, revealing his signature roguish expression.

"This is called a surprise inspection, to see what the young couple usually eats."

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Luo Fei walked familiarly to room 502 and found the door ajar.

He raised an eyebrow and pushed the door open to enter.

"Hey! What's wrong?"

Chen Xuanran wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

A rich aroma of food wafts over, the savory flavor of braised pork belly blending with the freshness of steamed fish, making one's mouth water.

In the living room, one-year-old Xu Shilin was sitting in a stroller, babbling and playing with a colorful rattle.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Luo Fei sniffed dramatically and strode into the living room.

Chen Xuanran followed behind helplessly, closing the door behind him.

She spotted Xu Shilin in the cart at a glance, immediately put down the bag in her hand, and walked over quickly.

"Shilin, my little one! Did you miss Auntie?"

She gently picked up the child and kissed his little face.

Xu Shilin chuckled and grabbed Chen Xuanran's hair with her little hand.

"Ouch, be gentle, you little rascal."

Chen Xuanran smiled and adjusted his holding position to make the child more comfortable in his arms.

Footsteps came from the kitchen, and Bai Susu came out wearing an apron and holding a spatula covered in sauce.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the two of them.

"Luo Fei, Xuan Ran! What brings you here?"

"Just passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you guys."

Luo Fei casually sat down on the sofa, but his eyes were glancing towards the kitchen.

"What delicious food are you going to make?"

Bai Susu gave him a reproachful look.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming, so I could have cooked a few more dishes."

Her gaze fell upon the various bags on the coffee table. (End of Chapter)
